The worst part about that is the kids that have no idea what they’re saying, basically awful parenting at work. I like the old guy that skips the “communist” and “socialist” tags and just sticks with the good ol’ “stupid bum” line.
Great blog, dude. I like it. I’m probably gonna write you from time to time.
From thursday’s NY times, if you needed another reason. Not a lot of Times readers in the clip:
“Under Mr. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the justice system and the separation of powers have come under relentless attack. Mr. Bush chose to exploit the tragedy of Sept. 11, 2001, the moment in which he looked like the president of a unified nation, to try to place himself above the law.
‘Mr. Bush has arrogated the power to imprison men without charges and browbeat Congress into granting an unfettered authority to spy on Americans. He has created untold numbers of “black” programs, including secret prisons and outsourced torture. The president has issued hundreds, if not thousands, of secret orders. We fear it will take years of forensic research to discover how many basic rights have been violated.
‘Both candidates have renounced torture and are committed to closing the prison camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
‘But Mr. Obama has gone beyond that, promising to identify and correct Mr. Bush’s attacks on the democratic system. Mr. McCain has been silent on the subject.”
As has, largely, the New York Times.
But no matter, Great words from those guys nonetheless, even if they are late they got it right..”Bill of rights…relentless attack”. Last I looked, the second amendment was one of the bill of rights…along with freedom of speech and freedom of the press. For a while it’s been pretty clear, it was only a matter of time, but ten days or so from now we Americans will again hold these truths to be self evident: that all men and women (not just Americans or men or white men) are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, and among those are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness…
And that those that deny men those rights without cause are tyrants.
That’s whats at stake.
